    I use the func pad myself, but everyone else seems to swear by the RatPadz. I guess it's just preference.

    Edit: I've also heard that a white surface is best for optical mice.

    I swear by Ratpadz. I have 3 of em here at the house and I get them for everyone I build a PC for.

    I use all optical mice as well and you just can't beat having a ratpad under the mouse.

    Get the Ratpadz. You won't regret it.

    My mouse pad whoops ***. It has a ELECOM emblem in 1 corner and is totally blue. It only sticks about 1mm up off of my desk and has little hairs sticking out of it. The base is rubber with a sticky surface.

    I disagree, i bought a Ratpadz and hated it, the bump between where it rested and the desk was just too high, and i really didnt like the sliding my hand over the surface.
